They are usually Christians so using Bible versus right back at them and asking when they are going to divorce their spouses and cheat on them and pay for prostitutes and playing up when they decided they support authoritarian communists and where they keep their Russian flags is probably the route to go. They'll love being labeled communiats and since when they started wanting to emulate the Chinese political system.
Facts, laws, and numbers don't work on them. Comparing their values to the person they choose to worship is more likely to get them scrambling trying to excuse behavior that isn't Christian like.
Which is often advocated as a reason by conservatives who are absolutely delighted in dictatorship with their favorite God King, so have no reason to use it. It's been the blue states who've advocated more strongly in favor of gun control.
Huge amounts of Americans support what Trump is doing and welcome a dictatorship. There's no unanimous opposition to what Trump is doing. That is the reality. This is same as the Russia situation with Putin where Russians who sided against the country and fight alongside Ukraine are the minority actually willing to do something.
I'm surprised they are even calling it fake news instead of celebrating about how it's going to own the libs with how they will gladly suffer if it means others do too.
I think reason Valve die hards don't care about the loot box portion is because they are the type more likely to be using Valve to buy games so spend more of their time buying and playing individual games.
The ones most exposed to loot boxes seem to be the ones who are the type to only play 1 or 2 games, and are fully invested in live service titles and is a majority of their gaming time.
So likely very different demographics when it comes to type of games they play and what they spend. One leaning more towards in game virtual goods than outright buying games. So it's a group that can be completely unknown to game collectors.
It's more people like Valve as a service than liking Gabe. Helps that it is a private company so not beholden to stockholders and has a reasonable amount of employees for a more sustainable business. Not that it can't all go to shit, but I trust publicly traded companies even less when it comes to having to rake over consumers to keep increasing stock prices.
GOG providing installers is absolutely amazing.
Threat to democracy world wide.
Most people in crypto are drawn to it the same way people are to gambling apps. Politics means shit and it's just full of people chasing after get rich quick scheme and fixating the price and trying to convince people to keep buying so they can offload their bag. Who the hell plays up crypto like it's some liberal stance when it's been mainstream for years.
Is American supposed to mean anything when the Republicans are indoctrinated into Russian disinformation and salivating over a Putin 2.0?
American might as well mean Russian shill, and is being a woman supposed to mean anything? What does you gender have to do with your political affiliations.
Changing words seems wrong with it sanitizing and makes future audiences unaware of how bigoted and flawed writers of a time period might be. It underplays cruel parts of society leading to a flawed rosy colored outlook. Now future readers won't know how far from PC writers like Dahl were.
